An earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale hit Hatay in southern Turkey and was felt by residents of a number of Syrian regions.
The Turkish Emergency and Disaster Management Authority (AFAD) said in a statement on Sunday that the quake hit at 21:13 local time (1813 GMT).
The statement added that the depth of the earthquake was 11.67 km.
There were no reports of any losses as a result of the earthquake, which was also felt by residents of a number of Syrian governorates.
Turkey is located on many fault lines and is often hit by earthquakes. In 1999, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit the east of the country, killing more than 17,000 people, including a thousand in Istanbul.
